He says he paid Mr Dick $50,000 a year,
an amicable arrangement which lasted for
several years until a disagreement over
money led to the lease being terminated
by Mr Ladd.
Defender was subsequently leased to
another Queensland charter operator
but soon suffered considerable damage
in an engine room fire. She was then
taken into the Ross River at Townsville
and moored alongside a wharf adjacent
to the Museum of Tropical Queensland
and the headquarters of the Great Barrier
Reef Marine Park Authority. There she
quickly came to the attention of Marine
Safety Queensland, the organisation which
has been keeping her under surveillance
ever since.
It is MSQ which has now taken the
extraordinary step of initiating legal action
in the District Court of Queensland in a
bid force Mr Dick to salvage his vessel
and remove her from Queensland waters.
Marine Safety Queensland’s General
Manager, Patrick Quirk, explained the
process which was initiated after Defender
sank at her moorings on January 3.
“Defender has been tied up in Townsville
and deteriorating under the tropical sun for
around seven years,” he said. “On several
occasions we have had to go down and start
“The overall objective is that
Defender will remain long after
the Bicentenary as a tangible link
with our maritime origins, serving
many functions principally in
northern Tasmania and including
pleasure outings for underprivileged
children and service organisations,
acting as a flagship for regattas
and other aquatic festivals, sail
training.”
